The American Indian Education Center is a non profit organization that has been a source of cultural awareness, educational enrichment, and social empowerment for the Santa Clara County Native American community since its reestablishment in 1996.

Ross D. Gritts Memorial Resource Library consists of over 6,000 books, audiotapes, and videotapes dedicated to Native American heritage and culture. Included in this collection are The Dawes Rolls and books from the Oklahoma Historical Society. Several monographs published by the Smithsonian Institution in the 1880s and materials on genealogy, treaties, tribal maps, reservation newspapers, ceremonial music and educational videos are also accommodated at this location.
